Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   In developing countries, where three fourths of the world's population live, sixty percent of the people who can’t read and write are women. Being illiterate doesn’t mean they are not intelligent. It does mean it is difficult for them to change their lives. They produce more than half of the food. In Africa eighty percent of all agricultural work is done by women. There are many programs to help poor countries develop their agriculture. However, for years, these programs provided money and training for men.

   In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4:45 a.m, she gets up, washes and eats. It takes her a half hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3:00 p.m. She collects firewood and gets home at 4:00. She spends the next hour and a half preparing food to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6:30 to 8:30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour washing the dishes and her children. She goes to bed at 9:30 p.m.

   International organizations and programs run by developed nations are starting to help women, as well as men, improve their agricultural production. Governments have already passed some laws affecting women because of the UN Decade for Women. The UN report will affect the changes now happening in the family and society.

What does the word "run" in the last paragraph mean?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   In Science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.

   After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists’ predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.

   Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves arc not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."

   Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.

Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?

Dịch nghĩa:

“Trong khoa học, một lý thuyết là một giải thích hợp lý về các sự kiện đã quan sát có liên quan với nhau. Lý thuyết thường liên quan đến một mô hình tưởng tượng giúp các nhà khoa học hình dung cách một sự kiện được quan sát có thể xảy ra. Một ví dụ tốt về điều này là lý thuyết phân tử động học, trong đó khí được mô tả là bao gồm nhiều hạt nhỏ đang chuyển động liên tục.

Sau khi một lý thuyết được công bố, các nhà khoa học thiết kế các thí nghiệm để kiểm tra lý thuyết đó. Nếu các quan sát xác nhận dự đoán của các nhà khoa học, lý thuyết sẽ được hỗ trợ. Nếu các quan sát không xác nhận dự đoán, các nhà khoa học phải tiếp tục tìm hiểu thêm. Có thể có sai sót trong thí nghiệm, hoặc lý thuyết có thể phải được sửa đổi hoặc bác bỏ.

Khoa học liên quan đến trí tưởng tượng và tư duy sáng tạo, cũng như việc thu thập thông tin và thực hiện các thí nghiệm. Các sự kiện tự chúng không phải là khoa học. Như nhà toán học Jules Henri Poincare đã nói: "Khoa học được xây dựng bằng các sự kiện, giống như một ngôi nhà được xây dựng bằng gạch, nhưng một tập hợp các sự kiện không thể được gọi là khoa học, giống như một đống gạch không thể được gọi là một ngôi nhà."

Hầu hết các nhà khoa học bắt đầu một cuộc điều tra bằng cách tìm hiểu những gì các nhà khoa học khác đã biết về một vấn đề cụ thể. Sau khi các sự kiện đã được thu thập, nhà khoa học đến phần của cuộc điều tra yêu cầu trí tưởng tượng đáng kể. Các giải pháp khả thi cho vấn đề được hình thành. Những giải pháp khả thi này được gọi là giả thuyết. Theo một cách nào đó, mọi giả thuyết đều là một bước nhảy vào điều chưa biết. Nó mở rộng suy nghĩ của nhà khoa học ra ngoài những sự kiện đã biết. Nhà khoa học lập kế hoạch thí nghiệm, thực hiện các tính toán và đưa ra các quan sát để kiểm tra các giả thuyết. Vì nếu không có giả thuyết, việc điều tra thêm sẽ thiếu mục đích và phương hướng. Khi các giả thuyết được xác nhận, chúng sẽ được kết hợp vào lý thuyết.”
